Cory lives! Still the Hunter S. Thompson wannabe. He is right that buyinmg stock is NOT an investment. But he is wrong to say the market is a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi schemes are zero-sum games. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. The current stock market is about the New Technology that actually creates wealth. Maybe this will continue, maybe not.

Roast Pig is big in Hawaii. CORY WILL FIT RIGHT IN (he should be on the same spit roasting with Milne but...).

Pig Roast

I've made several posts regarding the Pig Roast. There has been no substantial response.

As I do not read the newsgroup anymore, I hear no talk of any interest.

The Pig Roast is scheduled for the first Saturday in July. Anyone who is interested, plesae respond by e-mail.

If no substantial response is received in the next two weeks, then it will be cancelled.....that is as far as a newsgroup wide Pig Roast is concerened. We will still be having a Pig Roast anyway.

All except Brock, Holland and DD are welcome regardless of their take on Y2K.

PS- Would you know what Brock, Holland and DD look like? Maybe they should wear sunglasses and ballcaps; go incognito.

Wait a minute...did you forget to exclude me? Hey, will your brother Gary be there? That could be interesting...

Hey I know, while we're there you can call up Sonja Live on CNN, (cause God knows they have your number as one of the world's foremost experts on Y2K), and perform "I'm a little teapot"

Maybe we can have a moment of remembrance for our deceased contributors, and you can tell us again how glad you are that these butthead pollyannas,(responsible for the deaths of untold millions), are dead.

Better yet maybe you should continue your life as Paul Milne, and live out your remaining days a broken, lonely, pathetic human being, ridiculed by all, and spoken of in whispered tones by the local townsfolk.

Ok, so now am I off the list?

Well, I don't know about 'feasting'... but it keeps a roof over my head and other such niceties. As my first programming instructor, the Respected and Honored Mr Mullen, said: 'If you want to put bread on the table, learn COBOL. If you want to put butter on the bread... learn

*more* COBOL.'

Don't get too excited about it, Bob. On another day, *I* was no. one on his disinvited list.

Check it (from 12/4/99):

98.805765135&hitnum=1

As much as I hate to say it, even eskwired would be welcome at my pig roast. There are onle a very select few pollies who would not be acceptable.
dechert is one. holland, brock, thomsen and egan round out a few more.
I guess I could even live with brock and egan if I got up on the right side of the bed.

Gotta give you and DD credit for making solid strides in recent months. Holland is still holding down the number 2 spot.

Yeah. And how are we to know if it was really cancelled?

Brad, you conveniently snipped the last part of that paragraph. He said, "We will still be having a Pig Roast anyway." How much did I bet you on that one? Maybe Wade remembers.

I'm sure you're still invited.
